As some of you know my husband Ken was diagnosed with terminal cancer of the sinus in his face in August last year but then in February we were told there might be a possibility of them doing an operation but he had to have a bone scan first.

When Ken was first diagnosed with cancer in 2005 we were told it might involve a major operation which meant losing half of his face including his eye. Because of this we were thinking that this was the operation that they were now considering but when we went back yesterday for the bone scan result we got a really nice surprise. They said the bone scan was ok and that because the cancer had shrunk so much, it is now only the size of a two pence piece, they could do a minor operation with no involvement of the eye or upper jaw and providing they could get everything out the cancer would be cured!!!

You can imagine the jubilation that we felt. I know it is early days yet but from having hardly any hope last year to this is fantastic. When we were first told about this in August I just could not see a light at the end of the tunnel but of course now is a different story.

Our dream to move over to Cyprus to live may be a reality after all. We are coming over on Saturday for a 2 week holiday and are going to really enjoy it now. Ken is to have the operation at the beginning of April so he will be nicely rested before it.
